Behind the scenes on The Prisoner

Above: Jamie Campbell-Bower as the intriguingly named 11-12 (what could that mean? Does he get promoted/demoted?)

Here’s an advance teaser for the new US miniseries remake of The Prisoner starring Jim Caviezel as Number Six and Ian McKellen as Number Two. We’re a bit bizarred out by the idea that a Namibian desert is the perfect location for the Village, but the tantalising glimpse of the sets seems to suggest a bit of ’60s retro chic. It certainly looks like a complete re-invention, though, rather than a simple remake.

Well, I did post a comment on the forum with regard to the location: checking out Google Earth, there is a definite geographic similarity with Portmeirion, in that it's on the coast whilst in-land it does seem cut off and remote...

I am quietly excited, must admit, but will wait and see...

11-12...either indecision or the inabilty to comprehend fractions?

Er, why all the teenagers?

I loved the original series and glad that they aren't going for a straight out and out remake.

Looks very interesting and definately will be watching the first episode at least.

Big question though, will the "be seeing you" catch phrase be used ???
